My Bolt was working great until the screen went dead (seems like an occasional HTC issue for several models). Before that happened I thought it was a really nice phone, I do need to get around to getting it fixed/replaced though. My biggest grip is it isn't a stripped down android OS (I really grew to like that). I actually like my A9. The only grip I have is the same one I have with the Bolt. I might consider an LG, but never Samsung again...

Network Vision/LTE - Philadelphia Metro Market (including Lehigh Valley/Reading)
cdk replied to HappyHappy's topic in Markets
That looks a lot like the Verizon small cells that are all around Baltimore (minus the brown paint). -
Excellent.

Can we complain that debate the question of has this thread run its course?
-
Interesting. I don't know if its a typo or not, but I could see a scenario where that is possible.
-
I thought this thread derailed a long time ago....it is like the junk drawer of S4GRU, just throw whatever into it.
-
If they want to continue to run with their all networks are basically similar theme that they have been touting for the last several months and give people confidence that they (Sprint) believe that (and in turn believe in the product they are selling), they don't need to go to $60/month, match the terms and offer it at $70 or $75 a month. And keep investing in the network....

Openmobile had 15MHz of PCS (The C1 Block) and 22 MHz of the 700MHz Upper Band. I do not have any information on how much of that they are using for LTE. Assuming the purchase is approved it would boost Sprint's spectrum position considerable in Puerto Rico. Unless I am mistaken, they currently only have 30 MHz of PCS there.

Information about S4GRU Sponsorship levels and how to become a Sponsor

Become one of the Top 40 Donors: See this thread. -
Thanks, I took a few blind (I know almost no Spanish) stabs at links on their site but missed. I imagine those towers covering the interior could be upgraded as the networks are integrated.
-
I couldn't find a coverage map on Openmobile's website. Do they provide coverage in the interior portion of the island where Sprint does not? The spectrum situation certainly looks much better for Sprint (in PR) with this purchase. If they where really aggressive and decided to run a minimal number of CDMA (2 probably) they could run two 10x10 Band 25 LTE carriers. Hopefully they keep the 700 MHz license as well, it would be beneficial for several reasons: The initial transition for existing Openmobile customers, the roaming revenue from Verizon customers visiting the Island, it provides another 10x10 LTE carrier for capacity, and it solves the low band problem that Sprint has in this market (although it would be unavailable to most (or all) of Sprint's current customers initially).

Can we have a separate thread for the completely baseless merger speculation please? This thread is unwieldy even without that.
-
Thank you for the link to an English article!
-
It is pure speculation, that has been running amok for a while. I would agree with your statement that a Sprint/T-Mobile merger (or any other combination of the big 4) is unnecessary. Now Sprint and USCC (or any other remaining regional carrier) would be interesting.

I broke down and picked up a Bolt. For me the reception so far has been as good or better than the Nexus 5. It certainly does have some bloat, but I have removed several apps that where installed on it so far without any issues. WiFi calling is the only thing I have a problem with. Every time I attempt to turn in on, it shuts off as soon as I leave the settings menu...
-
That would make sense. It makes me wonder if they might also have started upgrading some of the GMO's along Rt-1, US-13, and US-113 in the market. I will have to make an effort to look next time I am back in the area.

Network Vision/LTE - Baltimore Market (including Annapolis/East Shore)
cdk replied to lequonrobinson's topic in Markets
I haven't seem them. They may very well be out there though as I can't necessarily look everywhere. I also haven't had the time to comb through my SCP logs either. -
Network Vision/LTE - Baltimore Market (including Annapolis/East Shore)
cdk replied to lequonrobinson's topic in Markets
At this time it is mostly a gut feeling. Other than a few sites in the LA area, there doesn't seem to be much movement anywhere else from them either. There was apparently one site here in Baltimore that they where fined for installing without a permit (and I believe had to remove) a while back, but beyond that nothing that I have been able to come across that suggest they are making any progress. That said I want to be positive about them but it would help to see some indication that progress is being made. -
Network Vision/LTE - Baltimore Market (including Annapolis/East Shore)
cdk replied to lequonrobinson's topic in Markets
Not to the Harbor specifically. I concentrated my last trip around Little Italy and Fells Point and then some of the neighborhoods to the east and north of there. -
Network Vision/LTE - Baltimore Market (including Annapolis/East Shore)
cdk replied to lequonrobinson's topic in Markets
After a couple of a drives through various urban and suburban areas of Baltimore I think I am about ready to come to three conclusions. 1. Mobilitie was a bad choice as vendor. 2. Verizon's small cell deployment in Baltimore is impressive (although they don't yet appear to be done). 3. AT&T & T-Mobile don't seem to be doing anything around here with small cells.
